More reactions to Intelligence
Happy Canada Day to all those it applies to. For my part, I finished off the first season of "Intelligence". I was thinking that for a show that involves organized crime, it's fairly low on sex and violence. That changed somewhat by the middle of the season, although it was still mild. Haddock seems to feel "less is more" and what's implied is sometimes scarier than what is actually shown. I tend to think Canadian tv gets away with more than we do, certainly from a language standpoint. They really ended that season with a cliffhanger. Although for all my comments about Matt Frewer's amoral bastard of a character, he's the one suggesting calm and rational approach, which is an interesting twist. As much as he doesn't like Jimmy, Ted doesn't want him dead! And for some dumb reason, I want Mary's briefcase. I don't lust over Italian slingbacks, but show me a nice handbag and I'm there!
Also spotted a few more familiar faces and then discovered one by accident. Ona Grauer plays Katarina, the glamorous Russian madam and Mary's star informant. "If I can't get a man up to my hotel room, I'm in the wrong business." She was also Aiyana on Stargate SG-1 & the opening of the Atlantis pilot. I would not have recognized her at all.
I struck paydirt at the local library for trade paperbacks, nabbing five. They're all in the category of ones I was curious about but not enough to buy: Batman: Long Halloween, Batman: Dark Victory, JLA: Lightning Saga, Brave & Bold: Lords of Luck, and Torso. The latter is one of Brian Michael Bendis' early works, based on a true crime of the Cleveland Torso murders.
